Muslim Christian Dialogue by H. M Baagil Pdf
In the Name of Allâh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. I am grateful to Allâh for the opportunity to read the manuscript of Muslim Christian Dialogue and for being asked to write an introduction to this remarkably eye-opening booklet. Anyone interested in comparative religion will find in this booklet many surprises that challenge what many once believed to be absolute truths. This work by Dr. Hasan M. Baagil reflects his meticulous and painstaking effort to present his findings clearly, concisely, and thoroughly. As a result of his study of Christianity and the Bible over a four-year period, Dr. Baagil, a dedicated Muslim, learned that Christians differ in their basic beliefs (i.e., the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus, etc.), that Church doctrine contradicts the Bible numerous times, and that the Bible even contradicts itself! His conversations with Christian clergy and laity during this period of study have provided the impetus for the Muslim Christian Dialogue. The reader will be surprised to learn that, in the Bible, Jesus (pbuh) never claimed to be God; that he did not die on the cross; that the miracles performed by him were also performed by many other prophets and even by disbelievers; and that Jesus himself prophesied the advent of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon both of them. All of these plus much more are detailed from clear and concise passages of the Bible. The question that obviously must be raised after witnessing such clear contradictions is: "Is the Bible God's Word?"! The effort here by Dr. Baagil is not intended to deride Christian people, and certainly not to mock Jesus and his teachings, as Allâh forbids such activities. The intent is only to point out that false charges, misrepresentations, and outright lies against Allâh and His prophets are in themselves both deriding and mocking in nature. Muslim Christian Dialogue also makes clear the Islamic view and shows how the Qur'an, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad some six hundred years after Jesus, peace be upon both of them, corrects the errors that crept (knowingly or unknowingly) into the message that Jesus (pbuh) brought. This booklet should prove to be a very valuable asset to Muslims and Christians, particularly given the interest in dialogues between the two faiths. God willing, it will be an effective tool for Muslims in our efforts to invite Christians to Islam. Conversely Christians should become more aware of what in fact the Bible says and what Jesus (pbuh) actually taught, as a result of studying this booklet. Indeed, as a Muslim, the hope is that non-Muslims will accept the truth and bear witness to the Oneness of Allâh and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. May Allâh reward Dr. Baagil for his efforts to dispel darkness. May Allâh's peace be upon us all. Muhammad A. Nubee
